With the addition of new head coaches Joker Phillips at Kentucky, Derek Dooley at Tennessee and Robbie Caldwell at Vanderbilt, more than half the SEC has coaches who have been at their schools for less than three years.

That list also includes Auburn's Gene Chizik and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, who are entering their second seasons, and Arkansas' Bobby Petrino and Ole Miss' Houston Nutt, who are entering their third year.

The current dean of SEC coaches is Georgia's Mark Richt, who is 90-27 with nine straight bowl appearances in nine seasons in Athens.

The SEC's other coaches, with their length of service and record at their current schools: Alabama's Nick Saban (three years, 33-8, although five of those wins were vacated by the NCAA in 2007), LSU's Les Miles (five years, 51-15), Florida's Urban Meyer (five years, 57-10), and South Carolina's Steve Spurrier (five years, 35-28).
